Nail Stickers & Nail Art Decals

Full-cover strips are the quickest option: peel, press, file off the excess and your whole nail is covered in color. Semi-cured gel strips are cured under a UV lamp for a longer-lasting, glossy finish. Water transfer decals, also called sliders, are soaked for a few seconds and slid onto a painted nail, which gives the flattest, most painted-on look. 3D embossed stickers add raised flowers or bows you can feel, and foil or laser papers bring a metallic flash to an accent nail.

Clean and dry your nails first, with no oil or lotion left on the surface. Apply decals over a base color, press out any air bubbles from the center to the edges, then seal everything with a clear top coat; this step is what keeps edges from lifting. Pick seasonal sheets for a quick refresh: snowflakes and gold for the holidays, butterflies and flowers for summer.
